Letter to the Editor: Statement about pro-life causes is absurd

Thursday, February 7, 2013

The statement that Mr. Kruger uses in his letter of Jan. 24, titled "Not Pro Life," in which he implies that those who support pro-life causes don't care about programs to help the poor or support war as a first response to national emergencies, is frankly absurd. I have heard this argument many times before, even from those who belong to my faith. It appears to me that this view of not caring for the poor or that war is the first response to a national crisis is put forth from people who need to justify their vote for pro-abortion candidates and to ease their conscience. These issues are NOT equal as some wish to believe since you must have life before you can address any of these other issues. Pro-life people care about all life -- rich, poor or in-between.
